Are there still people around who instead of having a cgm to monitor they just do the old fashioned way of blood glucose monitoring?

Plenty do regular blood tests... NHS have specific criteria to issue cgmAre there still people around who instead of having a cgm to monitor they just do the old fashioned way of blood glucose monitoring?
Hi. Have you tried a Libre 2 recently? I find no allergic reaction at all yet I am allergic to Tegaderm plasters.I developed allergies to the adhesive pads used on the Libre so I'm stuck with finger pricks. There is some speculation that Abbott has changed the adhesive due to the number of people filig complaints, but nothing official from the company itself. I have been thinking of trying it again for while now.

I'm on that same group and it talks a lot about allergy in the main with Decom. I've now used about a dozen Libre 2s since I started. None have fallen off or given any allergy but just one gave readings which were unreliable and the occasional data gap which Abbott replaced. Apart from that they have been fine for me. I suspect people's flesh and skin varies a lot.No not yet, a Facebook group that I'm in contains a lot of whingeing about failed (Libre 2) sensors. I've seen posts from people claiming that they've had 3 sensors fail in succession and talking about giving up and going back to finger pricks etc. So I've been put off from trying it.
